{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Beyond the Brandywine","slug":"beyondthebrandywine","podcastDescription":"

Welcome to Beyond the Brandywine - a Tolkien and Lord of the Rings podcast where we wander, wonder, and occasionally get lost in Middle Earth! Beyond the Brandywine is a cozy, curious, and occasionally chaotic journey across the lands of Middle Earth. Join us as we wander through stories, laugh over the odd bits of lore, and follow tangents like hobbits chasing second breakfast. We’re here to explore the places where the map fades and the questions get weird.

Each episode is a journey—sometimes we end up exactly where we planned, sometimes we discover something completely unexpected.

New episodes drop bi-weekly. Available at Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
